We are little Christian children
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #254 (1883) Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 We are little Christian children,
We can run, and talk, and play;
The great God of earth and heaven,
Made and keeps us every day.
2 We are little Christian children;
Christ, the Son of God most high,
With His precious Blood redeem'd us,
Dying that we might not die.
3 We are little Christian children,
God, the Holy Ghost, is here;
Dwelling in our hearts, to make us
Kind and holy, good and dear.
4 We are little Christian children,
Sav'd by Him who lov'd us most,
We believe in God Almighty,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen. Tune Title: RUGBY
We are little Christian children
We are but little children weak
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #206 (1883) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 We are but little children weak,
Nor born in any high estate;
What can we do for Jesus' sake,
Who is so high, and good, and great?
2 O, day by day each Christian child
Has much to do, without, within;
A death to die for Jesus' sake,
A weary war to wage with sin.
3 When deep within our swelling hearts
The thoughts of pride and anger rise,
When bitter words are on our tongues,
And tears of passion in our eyes;
4 Then we may stay the angry blow,
Then we may check the hasty word,
Give gentle answers back again,
And fight a battle for our Lord.
5 There's not a child so small and weak
But has his little cross to take,
His little work of love and praise
That he may do for Jesus' sake.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ALSTONE
We are but little children weak
Little children, who would ever
Hymnal: Voices of Praise #269 (1883) Topics: Hymns for Little Children Lyrics: 1 Little children, who would ever
Tread the safe and narrow way,
Jesus' footsteps long to follow,
And His gentle voice obey.
2 As a rough road often trodden,
Smooth and easy doth become,
So the straight and narrow pathway
Widens, brightens nearer Home.
3 Eye ne'er saw, nor ear hath heart it,
Neither can the heart conceive,
Of the joy which God prepareth,
For His children who believe.
4 Yet the Spirit doth reveal it,
Here we have our bliss in part,
Since, our heritage for ever,
God abideth in our heart.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: HERBERT
Little children, who would ever
Gustav Holst
1874 - 1934 Person Name: G. Holst, 1874-1934 Topics: For Little Children Composer of "CRANHAM" in The Methodist Hymn-Book with Tunes Gustav Holst (b. Chelteham, Gloucestershire, England, September 21, 1874, d. London, England, May 25, 1934) was a renowned British composer and musician. Having studied at Cheltenham Grammar School, he soon obtained a professional position as an organist, and later as choirmaster. In 1892, Holst composed a two-act operetta, which so impressed his father that he borrowed the money to send Holst to the Royal College of Music. Severe neuritis in his right hand later caused him to give up the keyboard, and Holst turned to the trombone and composing. In 1895 Holst met Ralph Vaughan Williams, and the two became lifelong friends. Vaughan Williams helped Holst land his first job as a singing teacher. Holst became very interested in Indian and Hindu culture, and composed a number of operas translated from Sanksrit myths. These were not received well in England, however. Holst is best known for his composition, The Planets, as well as

William H. Parker
1845 - 1929 Person Name: William Henry Parker, 1845-1929 Topics: For Little Children Author of "Tell me the stories of Jesus" in The Methodist Hymn-Book with Tunes Parker, William Henry, was born at New Basford, Nottingham, March 4th, 1845. Early in life he began to write verses, and having joined a General Baptist church and become interested in Sunday schools was led to compose hymns for use at anniversaries. Three of these were introduced by his pastor, the Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A., into The School Hymnal, 1880, and passed into The Children's Book of Praise, 1881, and other collections. In 1882 Mr. Parker published a small volume entitled, The Princess Alice and Other Poems. His hymns in common use are:—1. "Children know but little.” (God’s condescension to the Little Ones) 2. “Holy Spirit, hear us!” (Hymn to the Holy Ghost). 3. “Jesus, I so often need thee” (A Child’s Prayer to Christ). [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]

Folliott Sandford Pierpoint
1835 - 1917 Person Name: Folliott Sandford Pierpoint, 1835-1917 Topics: For Little Children Author of "For the beauty of the earth" in The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada In the spring of 1863, Folliott S. Pierpoint (b. Bath, Somerset, England, 1835; d. Newport, Monmouthshire, England, 1917) sat on a hilltop outside his native city of Bath, England, admiring the country view and the winding Avon River. Inspired by the view to think about God's gifts in creation and in the church, Pierpont wrote this text. Pierpont was educated at Queen's College, Cambridge, England, and periodically taught classics at Somersetshire College. But because he had received an inheritance, he did not need a regular teaching position and could afford the leisure of personal study and writing. His three volumes of poetry were collected in 1878; he contributed hymns to The Hymnal Noted (1852) and Lyra Eucharistica (1864). "For the Beauty of the Earth" is the only Pierpont hymn still sung today.

He has published The Chalice of Nature and Other Poems, Bath, N.D. This was republished in 1878 as Songs of Love, The Chalice of Nature, and Lyra Jesu. He also contributed hymns to the Churchman's Companion (London Masters), the Lyra Eucharistica, &c. His hymn on the Cross, "0 Cross, O Cross of shame," appeared in both these works. He is most widely known through:—
"For the beauty of the earth." Holy Communion, or Flower Service. This was contributed to the 2nd edition of Orby Shipley's Lyra Eucharistica, 1864, in 8 stanzas of 6 lines, as a hymn to be sung at the celebration of Holy Communion. In this form it is not usually found, but in 4, or sometimes in 5, stanzas, it is extensively used for Flower Services and as a Children's hymn.
